Hi, I would like to embed my analytics into the Video using Milestone. Please provide suggestions and advices

I’m running a people counting algorithm on videos whereas I want to save the CCTV videos with the information from the people count module embedded into it.. Can I do it via milestonesys? If yes, please direct me how should I start?

Milestone XProtect (as the off the shelve product) has only motion detection, no other more advanced video analytics is built-in unfortunately.

However, there are Milestone partners that can deliver on video analytics, you can see some of the integrations on Milestone marketplace https://www.milestonesys.com/community/marketplace/start-exploring/

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. I’m not looking for that default feature in milestone. I have a people counting algorithm to count people over the CCTV camera feed. I want to embed the processed video into the DVR through milestonesys.

I’m looking for guidance in this regard. Please help me out

Kind Regards,
Harishankar

XProtect support the usage of metadata and display of metadata as overlay on the video images.

I envision that you develop a metadata device to get the people counting metadata recorded in Milestone and a Smart Client plugin for visualizing the data in Smart Client.

Multi Channel Metadata Provider sample shows you how to make a metadata provider of a custom type. https://doc.developer.milestonesys.com/html/index.html?base=samples/multichannelmetadataprovider.html&tree=tree_2.html

Smart Client Overlay Graph on Event plugin sample shows you how to make overlay in the Smart Client. https://doc.developer.milestonesys.com/html/index.html?base=samples/scoverlaygraphonevent.html&tree=tree_1.html
